Betrayer returns the series to the action in the Ultramar theatre; it starts around the time the events of Book 19 begin to unfold. Unlike that story, Betrayer is presented from the perspective of the rebels, in this case the World Eaters and Word Bearers Legions, and often through the particular viewpoint of Khârn, Captain of the 8th Company of the World Eaters and Equerry to Primarch Angron. In tenuous and fragile cooperation, the two very different Traitor Legions lay waste to worlds across Ultramar; it is a "Shadow Crusade" meticulously planned by Primarch Lorgar of the Word Bearers, who deploys Abyss-class spaceships. The campaign's strategic goal is the destruction or isolation of the powerful Ultramarines Legion, its home star system, and the system's considerable resources; removing Ultramar as a factor in the war is one of Horus' primary objectives. The scheming Primarch of the Word Bearers orchestrates genocide in unprecedented scale, as a way to summon the powers of Chaos. With their help, he hopes to generate the so-called Ruinstorm, an immense interdimensional disturbance that will create an impenetrable veil around Ultramar. As the final piece of his plan, Lorgar engineers the "ascension" into daemonhood of the increasingly unstable Angron: the event is to act as the conduit for the unnatural storm.[38][39]
Like the vast majority of space marines the Children of Seth's chapter command is organised in general compliance with the tenants of the Codex Astartes, however thanks to daemonic incursion by Rotigus Rainfather and his Nurglite horde as well as general casualties caused by the Black rage and Red Thirst, the current Chapter Master; Rahma Anubian was drawn from the ranks of the Sanguinary Priests. As the culture of Atum heavily has influenced the Children of Seth so too have the more archaic parts of the world's devotion to the Emperor, many positions; Death Company, Sanguinary Priests and Sanguinary guard (or Ushabti as they are known within the chapter) to name a few now bear helmets modelled in the likeness of several of the spirits the Atumians worship as aspects of the God-Emperor. Whilst strange to outsiders, those more learned in the culture of Atum realize that these decorations are an internal and more private manner for battle-brothers to easily identify each-other: an example of this is the Sanguinary Priests (and, in a break from tradition the current Chapter Master) all of whom bear a cold, black jackal-headed helmet made in resemblance to the one who judges and guides faithful souls into the Imperishable's paradise, much like how they guide those who would be Children of Seth into astartes-hood as well as prepare their body for the changes to come.
